Configuring attachments and images

Infor Fashion PLM supports the use of attachments and images for most of its entities. To attach files and images, you must first configure Infor Fashion PLM to a central file path to store attachments and images uploaded in Infor Fashion PLM. Attachments that are deleted from Infor Fashion PLM can still be opened using the central file path.

Note: File name for images and other attachments should only contain a maximum of 200 characters. This applies to all attachments and images you must include in all items from Basic, Setup, and other modules.
  1. Select Admin > Configure - Infor Fashion PLM.
  2. Click Attachments.
  3. Specify the image server and folder. By default, your local computer name is displayed.
  4. Use the ellipsis button to browse for and select a central file attachment path for file storage.
    Note: In a multi-user setup, the central file attachment path that you specify must be a shared location where all users of Infor Fashion PLM have read/write access.
  5. In the Resize Existing Photos - Settings section, select one of these options:

    • Allow unrestricted photos

    • Confirm with user if photos may be resized

      Note: Choosing this option enables you to confirm first if you intend to resize an image attachment to a system-defined image dimension. The Resize Option dialog box is displayed when you drag and drop an image file in the Images field of a style record.

    • Resize photos (to the selected size) before they are saved

      Note: Choosing this option automatically resizes the image file into your selected image dimension from the Size drop down list.
  6. To resize existing images in the application, select a size option from the list and click Resize or Resize Thumbnail Photos.
  7. In the Image Upload Limit section, select one of these options:
    • Confirm with user if photos exceed max file size
    • Do not allow users to upload if photos exceed max file size
    • None
  8. Optionally, to set a maximum file size for images, specify the maximum file size.
  9. To associate image files to a specific program, specify this information:
    File extension
    Specify the image file extension in this format: *.imageformat.

    For example, specify *.jpg.

    Editor executable path

    Provide the exe. file of the program that will open the specified image type outside the PLM application.

    For example, type c:\windows\system32\mspaint.exe to enable Microsoft Paint to open images from the application.

  10. Click Save.
